Another great choice is Chamomile Violet, which combines the subtle taste of chamomile with lavender, which is known for its ability to help people relax.

For a special treat at the end of a hectic day, brew yourself a Tia Kwan Yinoolong tea - it was traditionally reserved for emperors but is now much more widely available.

Brew your tea

Now it's time to get out your tea services sets and start brewing your relaxing cup of tea.

The length of time you leave the loose leaf tea in the teapot will depend on how strong you want the flavour to be - the longer you brew for, the stronger the taste.

Using a glass teapot is a good idea as there is something quite relaxing about watching the leaves slowly infuse the water. Making tea should be an enjoyable experience, so take your time over it and you'll appreciate your drink all the more.
